Today, we see that Paul’s prayer overflows into praise  - a doxology - reminding us that worship always flows from prayer and that worship also grows our faith to pray big things 

The Spirit’s empowering presence, develops Christ-like love for one another among us, as He also fills us with revelation of God’s love toward us. 

The Holy Spirit gives true faith, and true faith experiences and submits to Jesus. 

Ephesians 3:16: We need, so let’s pray for, the strengthening of the Holy Spirit.

Knowing God as Father is to transform our prayers and relationships. 

From Ephesians 3:10-13, we see that it’s not only what we say, but who we are together, as the church, that reveals His wisdom to the world.

From Ephesians 3:7-9, we see how all of us share in the calling to make this ‘great mystery’ - the gospel - known to others.

From Ephesians 3:6, we continue to reflect on the nature of the ‘mystery’ that God has opened up to us.

From Ephesians 3:4–5, we ask: How has God worked through history to give increasing revelation on His nature and plans? 

From Ephesians 3:1–3, we ask: How can I remain trusting and faithful when I’m called to suffer like Christ?

From Ephesians 2:21-22, we ask, what are we actually being built together for?

How does being built on the right foundation make us true citizens and members of God’s household?

What does it mean that we have ‘access to the Father by one Spirit,’ and how should this transform the way we pray?

What does it mean to have Jesus as our peace, and how does this shape every relationship in life?

Rehearsing the ‘but now’ - the grace of God toward us - is a vital practice for spiritual health. 

What is the nature of the ‘good works’ that God has for us, and what does it mean that they are ‘prepared in advance’ for us?

Do we appreciate that God chose to create each of us, and that we have been created for important reasons? 

Why is it vital that we learn to boast in the right things and that we must make this a lifestyle? 

What aspects of salvation are the gift of God and how does our understanding of this affect our joy and security? 

What does it mean to be saved by grace through faith, and how should we apply this in our lives to fight for the peace that God wants us to enjoy?
